With the fall of the Eldar and the rise of Slaanesh, it was thought that there were only two broad groups of Eldar; those debauched enough that Slaanesh's daemon host were glad to leave them roaming the galaxy in His name and those that managed to temper excess and escape in their craft-worlds.

There was however a third group.

The strident followers of the Eldar war-path echoed their bloody-handed God's lust for battle and blood. When Slaanesh burst fully formed into the Warp, bending the junction between the galaxy and that "other" place, there were some that Khorne himself managed to take as his own. They inhabit the lower levels of the Fortress of their master doing the bidding and that of his functionaries and battle lords, tending to the blood moat and shoring up crevices in citadel with the skulls and gore of those that fall to their ensorcelled blades. They are often set free upon the mortal plane to seek battle and new foes in order to further carry out the work they are required to do.

They enter battle lead by a visage of a winged Khaine, flying into battle with the wailing doom.

So, in this counts as army I envisiage:

converted Guardians with daemon swords as Blood Letters
Avatar with wings as a blood thirster
converted guardians on jetbikes with swords as disks of Tzeentch
eldar riding crushers
converted farseer as Herald

and maybe some others?

Sounds interesting, I say go for it.

As a die hard eldar player, i dont think they are cookie utter models and would look out of place, abit of converting would go along way though.

If we had a test model to go on then we could judge it better IMHO

I love the idea! i was actually gona make Daemonettes on warped up jet bikes to make a sort of "daemonic seer council" feel.

go for it!

Great idea, conversions aplenty. I’ve actually seen list like this but not as demons. Here’s some additional ideas.

All these would be eldar models tweaked to be demony. Symbols. Different gear, more wild look (dare I say Dark Eldary). Really go with the Fallen Eldar theme. Mayhaps some mild mutations.
*Other GD: corrupted Wraithlord (yea baby!)
*heralds-like your idea. Exarchs would also be good in that regard.

Slaanesh:
*Slaanesh GD – eldar autarch or the Howling banshee Phenoix lord model – with claws et al. Could also be Demon prince.
*demonettes: howling banshees (duh!)
*demonette cav: twisted guardians on bikes.

Tzeentch
*Fateweaver/twins: Farseer (Old Dude gone bad baby!)
*Flamers: guardians with flamers, or flamers coming from moutsh etc (get weird that’s what demons are about) with flying wings or other flying mutations
Also mutated warp spiders
Also combining actual flamers with eldar. As above give eldar flamer arms or something.
*Horrors: corrupted guardians
*Screamers: corrupted lancers.

Got Khorne?:
*Bloodthirster: Avatar. Nailed it. He IS a bloodthirster.
*Bloodletters: storm guardians, scorpions. I would also put WFB Dark Elf Wyches in this category.
*Juggernaut: wraithguard, actual BCs with eldar on them (like that idea).

I am going to move to modeling as I think you've moved beyond the should you stage to what think of ideas stage.

bump

Cheers guys.

So you going to model some up Frazzled?

I'm thinking of it after I finish my current project (a more classic demon army as well as a few more things for my Eldar army...)

LOL - Daemonic seer council sounds cool!

Cheers

Instead of standard Juggernaughts with guardians on, how about these guys with warlocks on?

I think that would work very well for crushers!

they look pretty wicked, i would go with them, but remember the right base size
love the lion models alot, trying to get them into an army of mine somehow

That gives me some great visuals to mess with the idea of doing a lion based army.

wow i LOVE it! so you just get em off chariots?:/

1. No this is all Tallmantum's. My demon project will be completed with the finished painting of Zantar master of the pit, the 5 chaos knights (bloodkrushers), and two chariots I'm working on.

2. No I'm thinking of breaking out the paints to look at the mithril horde of my unpainted Valhallans in regards to the new IG codex. I have about 100 unpainted guys, which would be a big project just painting. Conversion thoughts on heavy weapons, but I want to see what the new basing rules are like on that.

3. Yes I agree those Lion Boyz would do just fine for Bloodcrushers. As noted appropriate basing size. The look sweet.
